[Opinions] Triplets & spelling question

There was a set of triplets on a tv show and their names were Jaz Joseph, Julia Rosa and Evelyn Rose. I love Julia & Evelyn as sisters (so classic, elegant & ageless) but Jax is way too trendy & nicknamey to be paired with them. I don't like that Julia & Rosa both end in -a; I think Julia Rose & Evelyn Rosa would be better although I do think Rosa & Rose are too similar for a sibset. WDYT?

On another show, there was an Italian American family who had a daughter named Ellena. They didn't show the spelling but it was pronounced like EL en uh. I thought it sounded really pretty but wasn't sure how to spell it. Ellena, Elena? How would you spell it?

I don't think Rose and Rosa are too close for middle names. For first names? Most certainly. But I'm really lax on the middle name thing. It is doubly okay if Rose/Rosa is in some way important to their parents.

I'd probably spell it Elena.

Elena or Alena, depending on the exact prn. I actually know someone named Alena.

Joseph would have been better with Julia and Evelyn.
Rose and Rosa- not for siblings, especially multiples- they share enough already.
EL en uh- I'd write Ellena too, not Elena.

I don't really like any of them, but Julia and Evelyn go well together.
